One of the important actions of the CCDH is the establishment of the arbitration commission charged with treating the cases of forced disappearances and arbitrary arrests. This commission rendered in 2003, 4000 definitive sentences allowing the indemnification of persons victims of human rights violations or their legal successors. 100 million dirhams (10 million dollars) were assigned to this operation.
The setting up of the Equity and Reconciliation Commission by HM the King, after a recommendation by the CCDH, comes to complete this rehabilitation operation.
The treatment of files relative to the unfair and arbitrary dismissals for political or trade-union reason is another operation that the CCDH has to carry out. This operation which took place between 1999 and 2003 allowed the reinstatement and compensation of 700 persons, most of them are teachers.
Moreover, legislatively speaking, the CCDH played an important role in the sense that it contributed to fill the legislative gaps in the field of human rights.
Human rights are also the business, social and cultural rights. That is why the CCDH attached great interest to them as shows the initiative to organize a cycle on this kind of rights. This cycle started on November 22, 2004 by a meeting entitled: “economic and social rights and development ". On January 29, 2005, a new meeting was held under the subject “the state, sustainable development and economic and social rights ".
Given that the rights have to keep pace with duties, the CCDH got down to prepare, as asked by HM King Mohammed VI in his Throne speech on July 30, 2003, a project of the National Charter of Citizenship. Once elaborated, this project will be submitted to all the parties concerned " to discuss foundations and constituents of a responsible and active citizenship in a society in transition and democratic construction ", according to the president of the CCDH, Mr. Driss Benzekri, who named to this post by HM the King on July 11, 2005.
The various activities of the CCDH are led by five working groups which deal with the following issues: the promotion of the culture of human rights, protection of human rights and examination of the violations, human rights and evolution of society, studies of legislations and public policies, and exterior relations.
Every year, the CCDH proposes a candidate, a personality, a national or foreign organization, to the Mohammed VI award for human rights, established by the Sovereign to encourage the promotion of the culture of human rights. In addition to its action, the CCDH became an inescapable instrument for the promotion of human rights in Morocco.
